About the Latvian language
Latvian is the official language of Latvia and one of only two living Baltic languages, with Lithuanian. It uses long vowels marked with a line (macron) and stresses the first syllable.
Latvian is spoken by about 1.7 million people and belongs to the Indo-European, Baltic language family. On Speechma you can choose from 8 Latvian voices: 6 HD voices and 2 standard voices. Every voice has its own page with a real sample, so you can compare them before you start.
Which Latvian voice should you choose?
- For videos, audiobooks and ads: start with the 6 HD voices, such as Adam Latvian HD and Elliot Latvian HD. They have the richest, most natural sound.
- For long documents, lessons and phone messages: the 2 standard voices, such as Everita and Nils, stay clear and consistent over long texts.
